What are greenhouse gases?

• Gases that help plants to grow

• Gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat, preventing it from escaping

• The heat inside a greenhouse

What impact are humans having on climate change/global warming? Tick all that apply.

• The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Why are greenhouse gases a problem?

• All the gases make it hard to see

• They escape from the atmosphere and reduce the oxygen available to humans

• They allow thermal energy to escape the atmosphere, making the Earth colder

• They prevent thermal energy from escaping in the atmosphere, making the Earth hotter
